[Leish-l] Fwd: Leishmaniasis - sand fly or sandfly or sand-fly?

Tue Feb 23 20:18:41 BRT 2016

Greetings,

I would argue in favor of sandfly as one word from a practical/economical viewpoint. It can certainly make a difference when you are hitting the max number of words in a publication/abstract.

What's in a name? that which we call a sandfly or sand fly
By any other name would transmit Leishmania as annoying;

Dear Carlos,

I have to confess that over the years, we have used both "sandfly" and "sand fly" in our publications.  I am not sure whether this apparent lack of consistency was due to transatlantic influences, or simply to an unvoluntary insouciance...

Cheers

Dear all
  OK, sand fly is probably utilized on our side of Atlantic Ocean.
  And in Canada, that is linked to UK, but on the West side?

Well, I have to add the Equator divide to the Atlantic Ocean divide in the conversation about sandfly versus sand fly.  Below the Equator and on the Western of the Atlantic Ocean, any little thing that flies and bites are called erroneously, I recognize, Mosquito, not Flies J.
Fortunately, for our papers we do not have to add this third linguistic quandary and have to deal only with the dilemma of sand fly versus sandfly.
Best to all.

The academics have spoken, but us lay writers could be forgiven for getting it "wrong". Usage accepts sandfly on this side of the Atlantic. As Bob pointed out the divide between sandfly  and sand-fly is the Atlantic Ocean. The Oxford English Dictionary and Collins offer only sandfly, Webster offers only sand fly. Encyclopedia Britannica uses sand fly, but then includes midges and gnats. Wikipedia is utterly confused. Trawling the publications of the  famous ento- parasito-logists showed that British journals such as TRSTMH use sandfly, Continental journals mostly use sandfly when publishing in English, but some such as Parassitologia seem a little more flexible and use either. US journals use sand fly, but adopted the style at  different times: AJTMH in abut 1983, Science and Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz by about 2000. I found only one sand-fly. So select your journal carefully if you have strong feelings.

The Americans use sand fly. The convention is that two words indicate a dipteran - eg. sand fly, tsetse fly, horse fly, stable fly etc, - whereas one word indicates a non-dipteran - eg. mayfly, damselfly, hoverfly etc. It seems sensible to me and I follow it. [This is opposed by Chris Schofield. But he works on reduvidbugs (conenosebugs)!]

By the way, what is the right English writing: sand fly or sandfly? Is it a matter of England vs. US?
